Abstract

In the field of application of information technologies in special education, there are still a number of challenges to be addressed by measures such as increasing the level of teacher training, developing targeted resources, improving equipment and creating an effective assessment mechanism. Only in this way can we fully exploit the role of Information Technology in special education, promote its development, and improve its quality. As a result, every child with special needs will have the opportunity to receive fair and high-quality education.
